The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. |

During the winter of 1927-28 officials of the Federal government made a strange and secret investigation of certain conditions in the ancient Massachusetts seaport of Innsmouth. The public first learned of it in February, when a vast series of raids and arrests occurred, followed by the deliberate burning and dynamiting - under suitable precautions - of an enormous number of crumbling, worm-eaten, and supposedly empty houses along the abandoned waterfront. |

The Simon Necronomicon, that little black paperback from Avon, is undoubtedly the most common of the commercially available Necronomicons. The book was originally released as a limited run of 666 leather-bound copies. A cloth-bound hardcover followed, in a run of 3333 copies. In its mass-market paperback incarnation, this book holds the dubious honor of being the easiest Necronomicon to find. |

The Wildside Necronomicon is a paperback reprint of the infamous Owlswick Necronomicon, published in 1973 in a limited edition of 348. This was the first commercially available Necronomicon. The bulk of the text is written in “Duriac,” an artificial script created by an artist for this project. An interesting feature of this book is that it reads from right to left, like Arabic or Hebrew. |

I am forced into speech because men of science have refused to follow my advice without knowing why. It is altogether against my will that I tell my reasons for opposing this contemplated invasion of the antarctic - with its vast fossil hunt and its wholesale boring and melting of the ancient ice caps. And I am the more reluctant because my warning may be in vain. |
